#154 Berghoff - Solstice Wit Beerg
Traditionally the winter solstice is when beers and wine are ready to drink since the fruit and grain were harvested in the fall and take time to ferment. Thats all the background I could muster for this beer.
This beer has a strong orange aroma with a hint of yeast. The color is a pale yellow with plenty of bubbles, but over all quite clear. The head pours thin and quickly fizzes away to only a light cover.
The taste is fruity with orange and citrus flavors. There is a slight after too this beer, it might be a diacetyl butter flavor. The mouthfeel is thin and leaves a slicking feeling on the tounge and roof of mouth, also a sign of diacetyl.
I'm not to crazy about this beer. There is an over whelming flavor that I don't like. I think the flavor is diacetyl but I am not sure since I so rarely taste it. I also don't really care of a wit beer so I know that's not helping the taste much.
